A Talk on Temperance,

An eloquent address was given at the
rooms of the Gospel Temperance union
last evening by w. II. II. Bartram, of
Buffalo, n. Y, who took as his theme
the Past. Present and Future of the
Temperance Reform" He began with
the early ages and depicted in thrilling
words pictures the fearful ruin the use
of strong drink had brought to human
ity, causing the overthrow of cities and
nations. Then turning to the present
age of King Alcohol's reign the speaker
presented in glowing words the steady
growth of the temperance cause through
the formation of societies and asSOcia-
tons in the moral suasiOn and total alb
Stinence features. as an anticipated as
surance that the liquor traffic would soon
be not only suppressed, but defeated
and destroyed. But as moral Suasion
has proved inefficient in the overthrow
of this monstrOus evil-intemperance-
other and more potent methods must be
brought to bear in the destruction of
the liquor traffic" Mr.. Bartram will
deliver another address this evening,
and he will take as his subject, The
Good Samaritan.o

A CASE OF FREEzE-OUT.
Railroad Discrimination Seriously AZ
fects st. Paul's Packing Business.
MR.. MCMILLAN WILL QUIT
There Is No Margin Of Profit In Fork
Packing With Present Rail-
road Rates.

1t was rumored last evening tina the
j. I. Mcmillan pork-packing house
would be obliged to suspend on ac-
count of discrimination of railroads on
freights. A GLOBE reporter called on
Mr.. Mcmillan and he stated the case as
follows:
Eyes, I'm afraid I'll have to stop
packing at once il the present freightS
are continued. / find that the railroads
have made rate of freight to Chicago
from Mankato the same as from Man.
kato to st. Paul, and all around at those
northern points the rate for dressed
meat is the same to st. Paul as Chicago.
This virtually shuts st. Paul. out, as
hogs are worth about 25 cents more in
Chicago than here. We can't compete
with Chicago at such rate. From LIE
Sueur to Chicago the rate is
20 cents; from lie Sueur to st Paul
it is 16 cents, only cents difference, and
this is nothing at all to work on. All
around the Northwest it is the same on
the Minneapolis q st, Louis, Mllwau-
kee & st. Paul and Sioux City. Of
course, if st. Paul can't get hogs as
cheap as they can in Chicago, we will
have to close up. The hogs are worth
more in Chicago on their merits. If these
railroads force US to pay the same rates,
we have no way here of breaking up
that discrimination. These railroads
are not looking after the interests of ST.
Paul, but their own interests. and St.
st. Paul stands no earthly show. 1t
verify looks as though these roads had
dubbed together to beat the Mime
sofa & Northwestern out of these hogs.
As soon as the 1,G00 hogs | have on hand
are disposed of, I'll close up the pack
ing part of my establishment"
WHAT MIR. O'LEARY SAID.
The reporter also called upon John j..
OIeary. NO" said he. I'VE are not
going to suspend, nor do | think it will
be necessary for Mr.. Mcmillan to do so.
We have been doing twice the business
we have done formerly, but we are GO
ing right into ChicagO'S markets though
we are often obliged to bid above Chi
cago to get hogs. There is no doubt
but that the freight rates are too high
and that those railroads are not working
for the interests of the city, nor is there
any doubt that the Minnesota IL North
western is working faithfully for St.
Panl. Of course we ought TO have lower
rates, but we are going on just the same
as uSualo

LABORlNG MEMS BALL.
A Grand Affair to Be Backed by
Many Labor Organizations.

The united assemblies, Knights of
Labor, and trades unions will give
grand benefit ball Monday evening,
Jan. 8, 1883, at Market hall for the ben
eft of the st. Paul Cooperative Mercan-
tile company. A circular has been issued
by p. W. King and p. I. CrOnin, COM
mittee of the boord of managers, in
which they say the Knights of Labor
have not decided on giving joint ball
this year, and the assemblies, in which
the subject has been discussed, are
willing and anxious to let this ball take
the place of X. of l.. joint ball and
make it a joint bali of all the labor
organizations. Therefore there is no
reason why it can not be made grand
affair. The receipts will be turned
over to the board of managers of the
company, and the net proceeds will be
divided and all amount equal in proper
ton to the number of tickets sold by the
members of each organization will be
credited to each as stock i'll the COM

Some Extent-A Close Call. -
A fire in the Union block, corner of
Fourth and Cedar streets, at noon yes

ment, but luckily did not result
very seriously. The fire originated
in private stairway leading
from the office of the Davidson company
on the Cedar street side, down to a

covered by Freshmen John Schroeder

way out of the stairway shaft and was
burning rapidly toward the timberS
in the floor above. The presSmen made
an effort to extinguish the flames, but
were unable to accomplish anything,
and the department was called. The
fire had spread, meantime. to the stock
room OF the Kellogg company, in
which was stored over two
car loads of book paper, valued ats, 972.

c. C. Bergh's jewelry store, corner
of Third and Cedar streets, and get
away with all the gold watches and
diamond pins he could snatch up and
carry in his two hands. Henry Myers,
a salesman. was the only occupant OF
the store at the time. and he was in the
rear part. The act was observed by sew
eral witnesses, but was so quickly done
that the thief escaped before they could
recover from their surprise. Myers. the
salesman. heard the crash and rushed
ont at once. in time to see the thief dis
appear in the alley opening off Cedar
street. He called fOr police. and the
officer on the beat responded prompt
", but too late to find any
trace of the rObber. Charles Christian,
proprietor of a saloon in the vicinity.
came around the corner just after the
crash, and passed almost near enough
to touch the thief with his hand, as he
ran off. He describes the thief as a
man of medium height and rather
heavy. with sandy complexion and
slight sandy mouStache. He
was dressed in dark clothes.

no OvercOat. MIR. Bergh does not know
lust what was stolen. He estimates the
loss at $1,000. He had been warned
many times by the police that he
was assuming great risk i'll dis
playing valuable goods in those
windows after dark. The weapon used
to break the windowglass. which is
three-eighths of an inch thick, was a
crowbar used in stringing the wires on
telegraph poles. The bar was taken
from pile near by, and was found
lying close under the shattered glass.
There is nothing to indicate that the
thief is professional, as the job was
very clumSily done. The detectives
were OH his track last night, and he will
probably be landed in a day or two.
